Descripción del empleo

The Member Services Contact Centre Manager is accountable for the day-to-day leadership, performance and efficiency of Member Services, ensuring The Wine Society delivers exceptional service to members in an effective, efficient and commercially responsible way.

This is a hands-on operational leadership role with responsibility for service delivery, workforce planning, forecasting, productivity, quality, resource utilisation and cost management. The role will develop a detailed understanding of member demand, operational performance and resource requirements, using data and insight to ensure the operation is effectively planned, managed and continuously improved.

The role will work closely with leaders and colleagues throughout the department to identify opportunities for improvement, remove inefficiencies and introduce best-practice operational disciplines, while protecting and enhancing the highly personal, knowledgeable and member-centric service for which The Wine Society is recognised.

The role is also responsible for evaluating operational processes, systems and tools, building evidence-based business cases for future investment where these can demonstrably improve service delivery, colleague effectiveness or operational efficiency, and taking ownership of complex member issues and escalations when required.

The Company

For over 150 years, The Wine Society has been bringing people and great wine together. We’re a unique, member-owned organisation, which means our members are at the heart of everything we do. We source exceptional wines from producers across the world and offer them at fair prices, supported by knowledgeable people and outstanding service.

Our mutual status allows us to take a different approach. Rather than focusing on short-term profit, we focus on doing what’s right for our members, our employees, our suppliers and the long-term future of the business.
Integrity and doing the right thing have been part of who we are for generations, helping us become one of the UK’s most respected wine merchants. But while we’re proud of our heritage, we’re equally focused on the future — continually evolving how we work, developing our people and creating an organisation that’s fit for the years ahead.
Being a responsible business is central to that future. We’re committed to making a positive difference through the choices we make — supporting the people and communities we work with, protecting the future of the wines and products we love, and reducing our impact on the planet.

150 years of heritage. Member-owned. Values-led. And always looking forward.
